WORK LIFE BALANCE
What does work life balance mean to you?
What does work life balance mean to you? To many people it means having it all. Enjoying your work so it doesn’t feel like work but more importantly spending time with family and creating memories. Everyones answer is different, work life balance is whatever it means to you.
Right now we are living in a world of uncertainty. What’s happened with the coronavirus pandemic has shown how our financial and life situation can change at a drop of a hat. Gone
are the holiday plans, and for many it’s now a case of survival, to keep your job, your home, everything you have worked for, especially now we have the energy and cost of living crisis, the worst in 35 years.
Taking aside illness, health and the loss of loved ones, many people I have spoken with recently have used this time to really look at their lives. As Benjamin Franklin said “ Out of adversity comes opportunity”.
This pandemic has brought up lots of questions about what we want to do in our life. It’s brought reflection time, do we want to be on the hamster wheel we call commuting, or do we want the freedom to be outside enjoying nature or spending time with our family and loved ones?
I feel blessed with the life I have designed for me and the fact that I was offered an opportunity to build an upfront and residual income with low risk alongside my other commitments.
Several times over the last few years it’s been a lifesaver, including family redundancies, and more recently the ability to spend several months with my mum in the year before she died. I was able to spend precious time with Mum who lived hundreds of miles away, and thankfully without having to worry about bills or keeping a roof over my head. Work I’d done previously ensured that I have a residual income that buys me freedom to choose.
I love what I do, it allows me to help people in many ways; giving people the flexibility to spend quality time with their kids as they grow up, or to travel, to see the world, to explore, to create their own memories, goals and plans.
The flexibility my business gives allowed me last year to spend 11 weeks to complete my 700 mile walk of the Devon & Cornwall coastline. Can you walk away from your job or business for 11 weeks & still get paid? This year I’m continuing where I left off and will be walking a further 1000 miles form Clevedon to Chester around the Welsh Coastal path
In the next five years I want to help as many people as possible to create that same time freedom – work life balance so they can choose how to spend their time, be it exploring the world as they like or creating their own special memories.
